Gary’s got a corkboard on the bedroom wall
Red strings running from the big to the small
Says the moon’s a movie on a giant screen
“NASA hired Stanley back in ‘69” he’s keen

Won’t eat cereal with a barcode line
Reads expiration dates like secret signs
Says the pigeons blink in binary
Then whispers “Buddy… they’re watching me”

Every answer needs another question
Every fact becomes a new obsession

Wake up Gary what did you find?
Another secret hidden in your mind?
Lizard kings and laser skies
Birds with government eyes
Wake up Gary take a day off please
Not everything’s a global mystery
Maybe life is just… okay
But don’t tell Gary anyway

He says Elvis orders food at night
Bigfoot’s blurry on purpose right?
Paul was switched back in ‘64
“Look at the eyebrows!” — he’s got thirty more

Area Fifty-One’s a holiday camp
Atlantis powers every desk lamp
Chemtrails spell my middle name
And squirrels? “Yeah… they’re in the game”

Every headline proves his theory
Coffee makes him documentary

Wake up Gary what did you find?
Another secret hidden in your mind?
Lizard kings and laser skies
Birds with government eyes
Wake up Gary take a day off please
Not everything’s a global mystery
Maybe life is just… okay
But don’t tell Gary anyway

Yesterday he called at half past two
Said “I’ve got something huge for you!”
I held my breath… this must be big…

“They changed the shape… of Pringles lids”

…

He wasn’t joking

Wake up Gary what did you find?
Another rabbit hole to pass the time?
Flat Earth aliens secret files
He can talk for seventeen miles
Wake up Gary you’re one of a kind
You make conspiracy sound sublime
If the truth comes out one day
We’ll let Gary say “I told you mate!”

Achtung
Herr Casino
Kaiser Tempo
No love story
No apology
Nur Rhythmus

He came in sharp
Black coat white face
Gold ring no name

One step two guards
Red wine fast cars
Cold smile big talk
Slow hands hard walk

Everybody said
Who is this man?
Nobody moved
Nobody ran

He smiled like a banker
Danced like a thief
Talked like a prince
With a knife in his sleeve

Kaiser Tempo
King of the room
Too much money
Not enough truth

Clickclick
Camera flash
Ticktick
Count the cash

Big talk
Small town
Lights up
Hands down

He don’t sing
He declares
He don’t love
He compares

Kaiser Tempo
Kaiser Tempo
He says yes
When the world says no

Kaiser Tempo
Kaiser Tempo
Velvet shoes
And a radio soul

Ohoh
Zu spät mein Freund
Ohoh
He never goes home

Kaiser Tempo
Kaiser Tempo
Everybody knows
But nobody knows

Hotel lobby
Three am
Same old story
New problem

Silver lighter
Foreign smoke
He tells the truth
Like it’s a joke

Listen darling
Life is a game
Change the rules
Then change your name

He signs the bill
With a fountain pen
Leaves no number
Comes back again

One hand waving
One hand cold
Too young to stop
Too rich to grow old

Clickclick
Camera flash
Ticktick
Count the cash

Big talk
Small town
Lights up
Hands down

He don’t run
He arrives
He don’t sleep
He survives

Kaiser Tempo
Kaiser Tempo
He says yes
When the world says no

Kaiser Tempo
Kaiser Tempo
Velvet shoes
And a radio soul

Ohoh
Zu spät mein Freund
Ohoh
He never goes home

Kaiser Tempo
Kaiser Tempo
Everybody knows
But nobody knows

In Vienna
They called him trouble

In Paris
They called him style

In Milan
They called him expensive

In Berlin
They just smiled

He said
Gentlemen
You can buy the ticket
But you cannot buy the entrance

Then the bass came in

Tempo
Kaiser
Tempo
Kaiser

No crown
No throne
Just a telephone

No heart
No fear
Just a mirror near

Tempo
Kaiser
Tempo
Kaiser

Talk fast
Walk slow
Never let the people know

Kaiser Tempo
Kaiser Tempo
He says yes
When the world says no

Kaiser Tempo
Kaiser Tempo
Velvet shoes
And a radio soul

Ohoh
Zu spät mein Freund
Ohoh
He never goes home

Kaiser Tempo
Kaiser Tempo
Everybody knows
But nobody knows

Achtung
The bill is paid
The room is empty
Kaiser Tempo
Has left the building

I told you enough to calm your doubt
Left every harder detail out
Called it mercy called it care
But truth with holes is still unfair
You read my face before my words
Knew every answer had been curved
I kept the facts at arm's length
Then watched that distance take our strength

I cannot ask for trust again
Without admitting where I bent

I was halfway honest
That means halfway gone
I gave you selected pieces
Then asked you to hold on
I was halfway honest
You deserved the whole
No more careful versions
No more edited soul

I made excuses sound so clean
Kept my fault behind a screen
Said I wanted us to heal
While I hid what you could feel
You never asked for perfect proof
Only one complete hard truth
So here it is without defense
I broke our bond with half events

I cannot ask for trust again
Without admitting where I bent

I was halfway honest
That means halfway gone
I gave you selected pieces
Then asked you to hold on
I was halfway honest
You deserved the whole
No more careful versions
No more edited soul

If you leave I understand
If you stay I change my stand
Either way this much is true
I will not hide myself from you

I was halfway honest
That means halfway gone
I gave you selected pieces
Then asked you to hold on
I was halfway honest
You deserved the whole
Now you get the full truth
No more edited soul

You sent a message
Then took it back
I saw enough there
Between each gap

No big confession
No perfect scene
Just two people
Out of routine

I kept my answer
Short and kind
Left all the reasons
Out of my mind

You wanted closure
Clean and small
I gave you nothing
You could call

I used to replay
Every little word
Now I let it pass
Unrehearsed

I used to bend
Just to make us fit
Now I stand straight
And live with it

I’m better without proof
Better without blame
Better without you
Saying my name

I don’t need the last word
I don’t need the truth
I got myself back
Better without proof

Better better
Better without proof
Better better
Better without you

You still look polished
From far away
Like all the damage
Had a clean face

I don’t feel bitter
I don’t feel small
I just feel ready
To want more

Some days are easy
Some days are not
But I don’t bargain
With what I lost

You had your version
I had mine too
Both can be real
And still be through

I used to replay
Every little word
Now I let it pass
Unrehearsed

I used to bend
Just to make us fit
Now I stand straight
And live with it

I’m better without proof
Better without blame
Better without you
Saying my name

I don’t need the last word
I don’t need the truth
I got myself back
Better without proof

Better better
Better without proof
Better better
Better without you

No more checking
If you regret it
No more waiting
For some clean edit

I don’t carry
What we ruined
I just keep moving
Like I’m used to it

You can keep
Your side of pain
I can keep
My new last name

I’m better without proof
Better without blame
Better without you
Saying my name

I don’t need the last word
I don’t need the truth
I got myself back
Better without proof

Better better
Better without proof
Better better
Better without you

I’m better without proof
Better without blame
Better without you
Saying my name

Mm
I don’t need proof now
I just know

I kept each feeling under glass
A private rule from years gone past
You saw the lock you did not push
You gave me room to choose enough

Now every reason feels too old
I want a life I do not hold
One honest move one steady start
A simple route from heart to heart

Open circuit let it run
No more hiding what we want
Every signal coming clear
I choose trust I choose you here
Open circuit no disguise
Read the answer from my eyes
We can let connection start
One direct route heart to heart

You kept your plans behind a grin
Afraid that I would not step near
But caution only served the past
We have a chance to make this last

Now every reason feels too old
We want a life we do not hold
One honest move one steady start
A simple route from heart to heart

Open circuit let it run
No more hiding what we want
Every signal coming clear
I choose trust I choose you here
Open circuit no disguise
Read the answer from my eyes
We can let connection start
One direct route heart to heart

No locked reply no coded test
We say the need and give our best
If fear returns we name it fast
Then choose what matters choose what lasts

Open circuit let it run
No more hiding what we want
Every signal coming clear
I choose trust I choose you here
Open circuit no disguise
Read the answer from my eyes
We can let connection start
One direct route heart to heart

Concrete and dreams underneath my feet
Grew up on these blocks where the cold and the warm meet
Didn't have much but I had this view
Rooftops and water towers skies painted blue
This city raised me made me who I am
Every subway line running through my veins

And I've been down I've been lost in these streets
But every time I fell this city caught me

(mm)

New York New York
I was made from your bones
Every scar on this city
Is a scar that I own
I have loved I have lost
On these streets made of stone
But I always — always
Find my way home

Harlem nights had nothing but a name
Told myself either make it or make it no game
Penthouse dreams from a fire escape view
This city don't love you till you prove something true
I've seen men fold under all this weight
But New York only opens up for those who wait

And I've been cold sleeping on ambition
But this city turned my hunger into vision
(yeah)

New York New York
We were made from your bones
Every scar on this city
Is a scar that we own
We have loved we have lost
On these streets made of stone
But we always — always
Find our way home

(ohhh yeah)
(home…)

They say the city never sleeps
(never sleeps)
But I've seen it quiet
At 4 AM when even the brave weep
(weep…)
And still — the lights stay on
(lights stay on)
And still — we carry on
(carry on…)
Because this city chose us
As much as we chose it
(mm)
Every broken dream here
Still has fire in it
(fire…)
(ohhhh)

New York New York
We were made from your bones
Every scar on this city
Is a scar that we own
(own it)
We have loved we have lost
On these streets made of stone
(these streets)
But we always — always
(always)
Find our way
(find our way)

Home
(HOME)
(ohhhhh)

New York…
(mm)
You never let me go
(never…)
And I never wanted you to
(fade)

Packed my bags heading out tonight
City sights yeah they feel so bright
Got a feeling it's time to run
Leaving the past I'm ready for fun

Every step feels like a brand new start
Finding freedom that's where I'll find my heart

Hey I'm alive feel the rhythm rise
Dancing through the streets watch the good times fly
Letting go of what held me back
Now I'm on my way never looking back

Met some faces shared a laugh or two
Every moment feels like something new
With the music I can finally breathe
This is my time got so much to achieve

And when the night falls I won’t be alone
With the stars shining I've found my home

[Final Chorus]
Hey I'm alive feel the rhythm rise
Dancing through the streets watch the good times fly
Letting go of what held me back
Now I'm on my way never looking back

At 2:17 the refrigerator cleared its throat
I said “Don’t start”
It started

The kettle only sings for one
The toaster burns my alibis
Your coffee cup is upside down
Like it has closed its little eyes

I bought a cactus for morale
It quit on Tuesday night
The landlord says the pipes are fine
The fridge is taking your side

Every appliance has an opinion
Every opinion sounds like you
The freezer hums through cross-examination
I plead the fifth and eat for two

The washer handed back one sock
As proof I can’t be trusted
The vacuum found your silver hoop
Then parked itself disgusted

I tried to cook that thing you liked
The smoke alarm performed the lead
I took a bow it took the battery
A fair review I must concede

“Did you call her?”
No

“Will you call her?”
No

“Are you lying?”
Next question

“Who are you talking to?”
The refrigerator

Every appliance has an opinion
Even the clock has joined in too
The freezer hums for the prosecution
And I still cook enough for two

Your note is folded under pears
I read it only when they spoil
The final line says “Please be well”
As if well came wrapped in foil

At dawn the motor settles down
The whole flat loses its nerve
I almost miss our little war
Then hear the ice tray say one word:

“Call”

Mind your own business

At 2:18 it cleared its throat again
I moved it three inches from the wall
We are no longer speaking

You took the long way home again
Counted every coin you spent
Said the city had no manners
But you kept your Sunday sense

There’s a man at the station
With a paper and a grin
Says the world keeps turning
But nobody clocks in

You had plans on a napkin
Now they’re folded in your coat
You keep laughing at the timing
Like it’s some private joke

There’s a queue at the bakery
There’s a dog outside the bank
There’s a song from a taxi
That you almost want to thank

You don’t need a big answer
You don’t need a grand escape
You just need one decent Tuesday
And a bit less on your plate

So you straighten your collar
Let the bad news pass
Put your hands in your pockets
And you make it last

Not winning not losing
Just doing the math
Some days get better
Better by half

Better by half
That’s good enough
A little less worry
A little more luck

Better by half
No golden plan
Just one more joke
And a steady hand

You don’t need glory
You don’t need proof
Just somebody laughing
At the back of the room

Better by half
That’s good enough
A little less worry
A little more luck

Your cousin had a theory
About getting out clean
Then he bought a small van
And a coffee machine

Now he parks by the market
With his radio low
Says the secret is simple
Never let Monday know

You remember old trouble
With a smile on its face
How it sat beside your future
And took up all the space

But you made a little progress
On a very plain day
Paid one bill sent one message
Threw one bad thought away

So you straighten your collar
Let the bad news pass
Put your hands in your pockets
And you make it last

Not winning not losing
Just doing the math
Some days get better
Better by half

Better by half
That’s good enough
A little less worry
A little more luck

Better by half
No golden plan
Just one more joke
And a steady hand

You don’t need glory
You don’t need proof
Just somebody laughing
At the back of the room

Better by half
That’s good enough
A little less worry
A little more luck

No parade no headline
No speech to rehearse
Just a small kind of fortune
When it could have been worse

You can carry your worries
But loosen the strap
Life may not fix you
But it cuts you some slack

Better by half
That’s good enough
A little less worry
A little more luck

Better by half
No golden plan
Just one more joke
And a steady hand

You don’t need glory
You don’t need proof
Just somebody laughing
At the back of the room

Better by half
That’s good enough
A little less worry
A little more luck

You took the long way home again
Counted every coin you spent
Said the city had no manners
But you kept your Sunday sense

Yeah
No voy a llorar por ti
Not tonight
No

Me llamas tarde
I let it ring
Ya no me compras
With anything

Tenías mi tiempo
Tenías mi voz
Now you get silence
Cuando digo adiós

No soy la misma
You knew before
Cerré tu puerta
Without a war

Mira mi cara
Mira bien
Perdiste todo
Por no querer

I gave you chances
Una dos tres
Now I move different
No vuelvo otra vez

No estoy dolida
Estoy mejor
I changed the number
And the color

Sin pedir perdón
I dance on my own
Ya no me rompes
Ya no me tienes

Sin pedir perdón
I’m good when I’m gone
Tú me perdiste
Baby you’ll feel it

No no no
No me llames amor
No no no
Ya cambió la canción

Sin pedir perdón
I dance on my own
Ya no me rompes
Ya no me tienes

Tu foto sigue
But not with me
Me veo más fuerte
Since I got free

No busco drama
No busco show
Si preguntan por mí
Tell them I glow

Tengo mis planes
Tengo mi paz
Tú fuiste casi
But never enough

I don’t do revenge
I don’t do regret
Solo camino
Y tú no estás

I gave you chances
Una dos tres
Now I move different
No vuelvo otra vez

No estoy dolida
Estoy mejor
I changed the number
And the color

Sin pedir perdón
I dance on my own
Ya no me rompes
Ya no me tienes

Sin pedir perdón
I’m good when I’m gone
Tú me perdiste
Baby you’ll feel it

No no no
No me llames amor
No no no
Ya cambió la canción

Sin pedir perdón
I dance on my own
Ya no me rompes
Ya no me tienes

No quiero flores
No quiero explanation
You had my heart
You missed the location

No necesito
Tu versión
I got my body
Back on control

Si tú me ves
Don’t come too close
I’m not your girl
Ya se acabó

Sin pedir perdón
I dance on my own
Ya no me rompes
Ya no me tienes

Sin pedir perdón
I’m good when I’m gone
Tú me perdiste
Baby you’ll feel it

No no no
No me llames amor
No no no
Ya cambió la canción

Sin pedir perdón
I dance on my own
Ya no me rompes
Ya no me tienes

No voy a llorar por ti
Not tonight
Sin pedir perdón

We got a little time
Let's burn a little more
Soakin' in the sunshine
In love with the shore
And when the night falls
I get a little bored
I think of you

In a sundress (Ooh)
Dancin' with the moonlight (Ah)
Can't get enough
Let's fall in love

We're all just a summer fling
Who cares if it ends?
We're here for the ride
One last goodbye
Mm-mm
We're all just a summer fling
And even when it ends
We're here for the ride
One last goodbye
Mm-mm

Ooh
Ooh

We're all just a summer fling
Who cares if it ends?
We're here for the ride
One last goodbye
Mm-mm
We're all just a summer fling
And even when it ends
We're here for the ride
One last goodbye
Mm-mm

Ooh
Ooh

Yeah

Summer starts right here

Ay
Turn it up turn it up
We outside tonight

Calor de junio
You already know

You came through with the sun on your shoulder
New dress old smile little bit closer
City too hot but you make it colder
When you move like that I lose control yeah

Got your friends in the backseat singing
Windows down whole boulevard listening
No plans just a night worth living
One look and the whole thing switching

Don’t say forever
Just say tonight
Meet me where the music
Touches the sky

I got that feeling
You got that fire
One more step and we’re dancing
Past desire

Calor de junio
Body like a radio
Turn me up don’t let me go
Baila baila slow

Calor de junio
Sunset on your stereo
One kiss and we lose control
Baila baila oh

Ay ay ay
Don’t cool me down
Ay ay ay
Summer starts now

Gold chain white tee you know the story
But you don’t move like the boys before me
You talk sweet but your eyes say more things
I might stay if the night keeps calling

No drama no pressure no questions
Just rhythm bare feet good intentions
If this is trouble I like the direction
You and me look good in reflection

Don’t say forever
Just say tonight
Meet me where the music
Touches the sky

You got that feeling
I got that fire
One more step and we’re dancing
Past desire

Calor de junio
Body like a radio
Turn me up don’t let me go
Baila baila slow

Calor de junio
Sunset on your stereo
One kiss and we lose control
Baila baila oh

Ay ay ay
Don’t cool me down
Ay ay ay
Summer starts now

She don’t need a ticket she’s the destination
He don’t need a reason just imagination
Palm trees moving like they know our names
If we disappear don’t put out the flame

Not tomorrow
Not too late

Right now right here
Let the summer wait

not FM
Filodyo
Zuri tell ’em

Ay ay ay
Move it like the heat is talking
Ay ay ay
No more waiting no more stopping

Calor de junio
Body like a radio
Turn me up don’t let me go
Baila baila slow

Calor de junio
Sunset on your stereo
One kiss and we lose control
Baila baila oh

Calor de junio
Body like a radio
Turn me up don’t let me go
Baila baila slow

Summer starts now

Good morning citizens
Your mood has been selected
Please remain casually impressed

I bought a smile from a vending machine
It came with batteries polished and clean
The screen said “Buddy you’re doing fine”
Then charged my card for wasting its time

My neighbor’s dog has a podcast now
He sells good habits and teaches you how
I wear dark glasses inside the store
So the cameras think I’ve been here before

Nothing is wrong nothing is real
Spin that message seal the deal
Everybody wants a better view
Nobody wants to change the room

Turn me down to channel zero
No big plan no chosen hero
Keep that smile for the television
I’m off-grid with bad reception

Channel zero moving slowly
Everybody knows me nobody knows me
Cut the signal lose the logo
Meet me down on channel zero

The mayor dances in a cereal ad
Says being watched should make us glad
A plastic moon hangs over the street
While delivery drones argue over the beat

My profile picture went out for a walk
Came back famous and refused to talk
It signed my name to a brand-new life
With better teeth and a rented wife

Nothing is wrong nothing is real
Pick a number turn the wheel
Everybody wants a cleaner truth
Printed fresh in a rented booth

Turn me down to channel zero
No big plan no chosen hero
Keep that smile for the television
I’m off-grid with bad reception

Channel zero moving slowly
Everybody knows me nobody knows me
Cut the signal lose the logo
Meet me down on channel zero

Terms and conditions tattooed on the ceiling
Swipe for approval subscribe to a feeling
Five-star panic in a paper cup
The world went down but the price went up

I got two left shoes and a counterfeit map
A government pigeon asleep in my lap
They said “Stay positive stay on brand”
So I drew a door where they built a wall
And walked straight through with the mic in my hand

No notification
No explanation
No invitation
Just oscillation

No verification
No celebration
Lose your location
Find your vibration

Turn me down to channel zero
No big plan no chosen hero
Keep that smile for the television
I’m off-grid with bad reception

Channel zero moving slowly
Everybody knows me nobody knows me
Cut the signal lose the logo
Meet me down on channel zero

Your session has expired
Good

I keep it folded tight
Like a letter in my coat
Then you say my name
And the whole thing starts to glow
My chest goes loud
My hands forget to rest
One look from you
And I’m a live wire in a dress

It comes in waves
It comes in red
It takes my calm
And shakes my bed
I try to hold back
Try to stay clean
But you pull the truth
Right out of me

Too much too much
I feel too much
(too much too much)
I break I rush
Too much too much
I feel too much
(and I don’t know how)
To hold this touch

I laugh too hard
Then I fall too deep
I say “I’m fine”
But it won’t let me sleep
Every little hurt
Gets a name gets a face
Every little joy
Leaves a mark I can’t replace

It comes in waves
It comes in red
It takes my calm
And shakes my bed
I try to hold back
Try to stay clean
But you pull the truth
Right out of me

Too much too much
I feel too much
(too much too much)
I break I rush
Too much too much
I feel too much
(and I don’t know how)
To hold this touch

If I go quiet
I’m not gone
I’m just full
And hanging on
Don’t call it weakness
Don’t call it a flaw
It’s just a heart
That wants it all

Too much too much
I feel too much
(too much too much)
I break I rush
Too much too much
I feel too much
(and I don’t know how)
To hold this touch

Feel the rhythm rise let’s ignite the night

Energy flowing let’s break the mold
Grooving to the beat it’s a story to be told
With every heartbeat we’re alive and in sync
Let the music guide us let it take us to the brink

Hands up high ready for the flight
This is our moment we’re reaching new heights

Weekend escape let it unfold
Living for today let the good times roll
Laughing and dancing that’s how we sway
Rhythm of now we’ll find our way

Every sound resonates let the night ignite
With friends all around everything feels right
As the evening flows let our stories blend
In this joyful chaos there’s no need to pretend

I’m on the backbeat sneakers on the floor
Phone in my pocket still I want one more
Bass hit hard got the room in a wave
No acting no script just the moves that we save
Skippin’ past stress like it’s paint on the tile
Two-step quick laugh been a while since we smiled
From the booth to the hallway passing that spark
We don’t need a spotlight to light up the dark

Come a little closer share the joy we found
Together we’ll create a magic sound

Weekend escape let it unfold
Living for today let the good times roll
Laughing and dancing that’s how we sway
Rhythm of now we’ll find our way
Weekend escape feel it in your core
This is our moment let the music soar

Let the music soar

Left Arizona on a Sunday night
With a half-full tank and a dashboard light
The map was folded the plan was gone
Still I kept the engine on

You called somewhere near the state line sign
Said you heard another song of mine
Funny how a voice can cross the miles
And make a stranger road worthwhile

Every mile gets smaller in the rearview glass
Every promise asks how long it'll last

California burns at dawn
Golden hills turning on
I still hear your voice rolling through
Every station I tune to

California burns at dawn
Night is leaving one by one
I keep driving with the radio on
California burns at dawn

Motel curtains and vending lights
Another town for another night
The coffee tasted like yesterday
But your memory wouldn't fade

Maybe someday the wheels slow down
Maybe someday I settle in one town
Until then you're the song I keep
Between the white lines and my sleep

California burns at dawn
Golden hills turning on
I still hear your voice rolling through
Every station I tune to

California burns at dawn
Night is leaving one by one
I keep driving with the radio on
California burns at dawn

La la la
Je marche sans toi
La la la
Et ça va déjà

J’ai mis ton nom dans ma poche
Sans le lire sans le garder
Je souris quand la ville accroche
Un vieux refrain sous mes souliers

Tu voulais tout dire trop vite
Moi je voulais respirer
On a pris deux routes petites
Sans savoir se retourner

Je ne cherche pas la cause
Je ne compte plus les torts
Quand un amour se repose
Il ne frappe plus si fort

Je marche sans toi
Mais je marche légère
Mon cœur fait trois pas
Puis recommence à faire

La vie me reprend
Par le bout des doigts
Je ris doucement
Je marche sans toi

La la la la
Je marche sans toi
La la la la
Et ça va déjà

J’ai vendu nos vieilles promesses
Pour un café sur le quai
J’ai gardé juste la tendresse
Que je pouvais supporter

Les amis parlent trop de chance
Moi je parle de vérité
On confond souvent silence
Avec manque de fierté

Je ne cherche pas la cause
Je ne compte plus les torts
Quand un amour se repose
Il ne frappe plus si fort

Je marche sans toi
Mais je marche légère
Mon cœur fait trois pas
Puis recommence à faire

La vie me reprend
Par le bout des doigts
Je ris doucement
Je marche sans toi

La la la la
Je marche sans toi
La la la la
Et ça va déjà

Si tu me vois dans la foule
Ne fais pas semblant de rien
J’ai laissé ce qui s’écroule
Pour tenir ce qui me tient

Je n’ai pas gagné la guerre
Je n’ai pas perdu ma voix
J’apprends juste à mieux me plaire
Quand je marche sans toi

Je marche sans toi
Mais je marche légère
Mon cœur fait trois pas
Puis recommence à faire

La vie me reprend
Par le bout des doigts
Je ris doucement
Je marche sans toi

Je marche sans toi
Mais je marche légère
Mon cœur fait trois pas
Puis recommence à faire

La la la la
Je marche sans toi
La la la la
Et ça va déjà

La la la
Je marche sans toi
La la la
Et ça va déjà

You left your jacket on the kitchen chair
Like it still expected you somewhere
Coffee’s cold but I pour it anyway
Habits never learn the words we say

Your favorite station still finds the beat
But even songs sound incomplete
Funny how a room can keep a face
Long after footsteps leave the place

Nobody’s wrong
Nobody won
Just another ending
Quietly begun

Your name stayed home
Even when you didn’t
Hanging on the walls
Like they never listened

I locked every door
Still the silence came through
Turns out empty rooms
Know more than I do

The mailbox laughs every Tuesday noon
Selling dreams that expire too soon
Neighbor waves and asks how you’ve been
I smile before I think again

Bought two tickets out of old routine
Didn’t notice what they really mean
Some mistakes don’t make a sound
They simply keep hanging around

Maybe every goodbye
Needs somewhere to live
Maybe every memory
Keeps asking what we’ll give

Maybe tomorrow
Changes its mind
Maybe it won’t
And that’s just fine

Your name stayed home
Like an old tattoo
Fading just enough
To look brand new

I’m not waiting now
I’m just passing through
Funny what survives
After loving you

I was on the block
With my people every day
Tryna get a dollar in a hundred different ways
Tell 'em I was hot
I just had to get away
And they tell me
"Brother
What about the old good days?"

They want that old me back
Now that version in the past
When I was a young kid
I just wanted me a bag

On the corner with my people
In the middle of the night
Everybody moving careful
Just trying to make it right

Man I been hot
I been on my own thing
Riding with a Taurus
I was on some horoscope thing

All my people winning
Man we don't ever forfeit
Me and my people never moving on no weak stuff

I'm in this place with my woadies
I'm in this place with my homies
I'm in this place with the people
That really been down
And the ones that really been knowing me

I'm in this place with the people
That said they would ride for me
And the ones that would've stood with me

I'm in this place with the people
That told me I couldn't do it
But now I be doing me

I'm on a different type time
Girl you know I been on my grind
Tryna move all of my people up out the hood
Get 'em out of the bind

I know that all of my people got demons
But that's why I keep all my angels around
I told all my people
"If you hold me down
Then I'ma hold you down"

I was on the block
With my people every day
Tryna get a dollar in a hundred different ways
Tell 'em I was hot
I just had to get away
And they tell me

What about the old good days?"

Yeah
Almost beautiful

You left your shadow
On the passenger side
Like a quiet ending
At a red street light

I kept the moment
But I lost the weight
Of waiting for something
That was already late

Now days feel lighter
When the hope runs out
I hear my own voice
A little less loud

And I don’t hate you
That takes too much room
I just stopped turning
The sky into you

Maybe we were young
Maybe we were tired
Maybe love got lost
Somewhere in the wires

I don’t need a reason
I don’t need a sign
I just need tonight
To feel like mine

It was almost beautiful
Almost good enough
Almost like a movie
Almost like love

We were almost honest
Almost made it through
Almost had forever
Then forever moved

And I’m not broken
I’m just new
It was almost beautiful
Losing you

Oh-oh
Almost beautiful
Oh-oh
Almost beautiful

I saw your name
On a screen last night
It didn’t hurt me
Like I thought it might

Just a small old feeling
Passing through
Like a song from a car
That never stops for you

I walked for hours
Under changing signs
No big confession
No perfect line

Just a quiet freedom
I never planned
Like letting go
Without using my hands

Maybe we were close
Maybe we were blind
Maybe love looks better
From the other side

I don’t need an answer
I don’t need a fight
I just need my heart
To sleep tonight

It was almost beautiful
Almost good enough
Almost like a movie
Almost like love

We were almost honest
Almost made it through
Almost had forever
Then forever moved

And I’m not broken
I’m just new
It was almost beautiful
Losing you

I won’t call it wasted
I won’t call it wrong
Some people are chapters
That read too long

I won’t make you guilty
I won’t make me small
We were almost something
And that’s something after all

Almost beautiful
Almost true
Almost everything
I wanted with you

Almost beautiful
Almost gone
I can still remember
But I can move on

It was almost beautiful
Almost good enough
Almost like a movie
Almost like love

We were almost honest
Almost made it through
Almost had forever
Then forever moved

And I’m not broken
I’m just new
It was almost beautiful
Losing you

Oh-oh
Almost beautiful
Oh-oh
Almost beautiful

Mm
Almost beautiful
Losing you
